| Question: | How you got the idea to make such a journey? |
| Answer: | A world trip is a child dream for both of us. We've pleasure to travel and do it much. So we go again and again with joy, to discover a new area or stumble over the stones in the near mountains. This journey is an adventure, not an escape of the local everyday life. |
 | |
| Q: | How long does the journey last? |
| A: | 10 months are planned. 3 in the USA, 2 in central America, 3 in South America and 2 months in Africa. We estimate to make about 60'000km. |
| |
| Q: | Why with the motorcycle? |
| A: | Initially we planned the journey with the public transportation, bus, ship, truck, train; everything that moves on ground. But we believe that using the own motorcycle a more active and more independent kind of progressive movement is possible. |
| |
| Q: | Doesn't hurt the back? |
| A: | Maybe. |
| |
| Q: | Do you go with one or two motorcycles? |
| A: | We also go with two toothbrushes. |
| |
| Q: | How many kilometers do you make per day? |
| A: | For planning we counted different distances per continent. We expect to make some more daily kilometers in the USA (approx. 400) than in South America and Africa (250, respectively. 200). Besides we calculated about a third of the time to stay on place and relaxing and experiencing. |
| |
| Q: | From where do you have the money for such a journey? |
| A: | We started saving money a long time before we could have been sure that we actually go on this journey. Thus the amount raised slowly over approximately the last 3 years. Besides it can much more easier be done if one has such a goal before eyes. |
| |
| Q: | How much does such a journey cost? |
| A: | On the planning sites you find all real expenses and budget values listed. |
| |
| Q: | Will you return from the journey or do you remain where it pleases you? |
| A: | The safe return is one of the principal purposes of the project. We understand ourselves not as "drop-outers", but as adventurers with a plan. If we discover a place on the way where we would like to live a while, then we can return after the journey. |
| |
| Q: | What is the next project? |
| A: | Although we are not yet away, this question is often asked, particularly of people who know us. Also we considered us ourselves, however from fear, the journey could become the high point of our remaining life, with which we bug our environment over the same time. At the current time the question cannot be answered clearly, since the experiences will surely affect the future. But it can be assured here that we have many plans, which are just as important, even if they seem at first sight smaller, for us however in our life same important. |
